Su Ruofei agreed to be Yun Mu's ears, and Yun Mu trusted Su Ruofei's loyalty. He scolded Xiao Qi for scaring Su Ruofei and cutting her neck with a blade, emphasizing that he shouldn't have gone that far. Yun Mu instructed Xiao Qi to fetch the best medicine to ensure there wouldn't be a scar. Xiao Qi hurriedly knelt to apologize, and Yun Mu didn't blame him further.

In the days that followed, Yun Mu and Xiao Qi noticed that Su Ruofei seemed like a different person. She diligently practiced the secret handbell signals, even during meals and in her sleep, muttering them in her dreams. Yun Mu even started to think that Su Ruofei had fallen for him, captivated by his charm. The next morning, before Su Ruofei was awake, Yun Mu applied medicine to her wound.

Just then, Jin Shangyu arrived and, learning that the two were staying in the same room, rushed over, only to see Yun Mu drawing a butterfly over Su Ruofei's wound to make it look prettier. Jin Shangyu was furious, thinking that Yun Mu’s behavior toward Su Ruofei could ruin her reputation. Seeing the tension between them, Su Ruofei hastily explained that their relationship was innocent, and Yun Mu had only been applying medicine.

Yun Mu rudely sent Jin Shangyu back to the Huan Yue House to stay. Su Ruofei wanted to see him off, but Yun Mu stopped her. Yun Mu then gave an order: whenever Jin Shangyu comes looking for Su Ruofei, block him if possible, and if not, prevent him from meeting her. His reasoning was that Jin Shangyu wanted to steal his person.

Xiao Qi felt that Yun Mu had changed and couldn’t understand when Su Ruofei had become Yun Mu’s "person. "Yun Shang had a set of expensive clothing made for Su Ruoshan, as well as a carriage, and even considered getting her a house. Su Ruoshan accepted the dress and carriage, promising to behave well and not disgrace Yun Yao.

With the upcoming music gathering, Su Ruoshan wasn’t sure if Yun Mu would attend, but she believed Yun Mu’s feelings for the Jade Maiden were different. She secretly vowed to play a matching tune with Yun Mu. Jin Shangyu came to ask Su Ruofei to leave with him, but Su Ruofei refused. She didn’t reveal her reason for staying to help Yun Mu but instead shared her personal aspirations.

She expressed her hope of becoming the Chief Musician so she could change the system, ensuring that talented musicians like Hou’er and Shiyi wouldn’t remain overlooked. Jin Shangyu supported her ambition. To test the results of their secret bell code, Yun Mu deliberately blindfolded himself and had Su Ruofei use the bells to guide his archery, indicating where a hidden girl was located. Each time, Yun Mu accurately hit the target.

But on the final shot, Yun Mu intentionally aimed at Su Ruofei, as he was upset, knowing that Jin Shangyu had come to see her again. When Su Ruoshan came to find Su Ruofei, she overheard the female musicians gossiping, speculating that Yun Mu treated Su Ruofei differently, not as a musician but as a favored concubine. This made Su Ruoshan feel uncomfortable.

After delivering her invitation to Yun Mu and leaving, she specifically warned Su Ruofei to keep her distance from Yun Mu to avoid rumors. Yun Mu planned to attend the gathering, as he had always wanted to repay the Jade Maiden, but had been delayed by training Su Ruofei, the "wild cat. " Now, it was time to fulfill that debt. Huang Ying brought buns for Jin Shangyu.

Although Jin Shangyu was very hungry, he was afraid to eat them for fear of being judged for his weight. Under Huang Ying’s persistent persuasion, he finally ate one bun. When Huang Ying heard that Jin Shangyu had been kicked out, she assumed he was bullied and wanted to confront Yun Mu. However, Jin Shangyu explained that he had left to train the female musicians, which made Huang Ying even happier, as it meant she could see him every day.

Jin Shangyu immediately lost his appetite for the buns. Su Ruoshan was delighted to see Yun Mu arrive, but when she saw that he had brought Su Ruofei with him, jealousy surged in her heart. However, she pretended to be natural and acted kindly toward Su Ruofei. Curious, Su Ruofei wandered around and eventually encountered Jin Shangyu. Jin Shangyu told her that today was a day for musicians to "exchange tunes," seeking understanding through music.

Su Ruofei suddenly realized that her sister had likely invited Yun Mu to befriend him through music, and she wondered if Yun Mu had the same intention. Jin Shangyu wanted to connect with Su Ruofei through music, but Su Ruofei thought she was merely accompanying Yun Mu and didn't consider herself qualified for such an exchange, leaving Jin Shangyu disappointed. As everyone played their music, Su Ruofei shook the bells, allowing Yun Mu to sense the tunes.

Yun Mu accurately guessed the piece being played and praised Su Ruofei's performance. The bells scratched Su Ruofei’s wrist, and Yun Mu carried medicine with him to apply to her wound. When Su Ruoshan played, Su Ruofei recognized it as one of Lady Yaoshan’s songs, which was also her own favorite. If she were in Su Ruoshan’s place, she would play the same piece. To satisfy Yun Mu's curiosity, Su Ruofei transmitted the melody through the bells. Yun Mu suddenly realized that Su Ruoshan wanted him to hear the Jade Maiden’s song.
